"The majority's reasoning does not give a legal nod to those sending spam, or unsolicited e-mail, en masse, she noted.

But how can that be? The ruling seems inconsistent with current anti-spam laws that are gaining momentum.

I'm all about free speech, but this idiot needs to stop spamming and either shut up, or challenge his dismissal in court.
